Chapter 84: Another Decisive Battle
On Mochizuki Island, the sunset shone obliquely, and the thieves once again repelled the Jingzhou Navy and held a banquet to celebrate their achievements.
The loss of a big ship is nothing to them at all, and there are still many big ships on Shenlong Island, and then they can be transferred.
In the water village, Lin Wen listened to Zhou Xiong's advice, but his brows were tightly locked: "The Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." We didn't know that Gan Ning had voted for Liu Qi, and this defeat was not unjust at all. ”
Zhou Xiong said coldly: "Although the Jinfan thief has a good reputation, it was all ten years ago, and now it is our world, Gan Ning is old!" ”
Lin Wen held the wine glass and said slowly: "I don't want Liu Qi to reuse this person and hand over the naval army to the command of the Jinfan thief." ”
He had long heard that Gan Ning had voted for Jingzhou before, but he was not reused by Liu Biao, and went to Jiangxia again, but he didn't expect to return to Jingzhou again, and was reused by Liu Qi, and even established the Jinfan Army, which shows the importance of Gan Ning.
Zhou Xiong sneered: "Brother, don't worry, next time Gan Ning comes back, I will personally deal with him and tell him to dare to steal my warship again." ”
Lin Wen came back to his senses and frowned slightly: "The Lingjiao ship was robbed by officers and soldiers, and the secret during it is no longer guaranteed, so it must be repelled as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very bad if he comes up with a way to crack it." ”
"Brother is too worried!" Zhou Xiong laughed and said, "The Spirit Jiao Ship is invulnerable at all, even if they attack with fire, we have a way to deal with it." In addition, don't forget our ghost shark team, as long as all the officers and soldiers' building ships are sunk, even if they don't use the spirit boat, they will still beat the officers and soldiers to the ground. ”
Lin Wen always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and ordered: "All in all, we must repel the Jingzhou Navy as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
"Tomorrow I will send troops to take revenge!" Zhou Xiong raised his glass and drank with the leaders.
After the banquet, Lin Wen returned to Shenlong Island overnight, and now rumors are spreading, and people are different, he must always be vigilant.
The next day, Zhou Xiong led the troops out, and five Lingjiao ships were mobilized at the same time to meet the Jingzhou naval army, but the officers and soldiers refused to defend it, and the thief army rushed to the water village, but was repelled by random arrows.
For two days in a row, the thief army beat drums and showed off their might, wandering in Dongting Lake, arrogant, Zhou Xiong was even more convinced that Liu Qiqian's donkey skills were poor, and he did not dare to fight again, so he temporarily retired to rest.
The leaders of the Dongting thief army were greatly confident, not only did they not dare to fight Liu Qi, but even the Jinfan thief Gan Ning was like a turtle with a shrunken head, discussing whether to enter the Yangtze River in the next step and occupy the area of Wuxia and Xiling Gorge, where there were many merchant ships and could make a lot of oil and water.
Lin Wen learned the news on Shenlong Island, but his heart became uneasy, Liu Qi was originally here to inspect Jingnan, but he did not move in Dongting Lake, and he must have a plan.
But even if they hijacked the Lingjiao boat, they couldn't build it in a short time, and they couldn't guess the movements of the officers and soldiers for a while, so they could only send someone to tell Zhou Xiong to strengthen their vigilance more to prevent the officers and soldiers from sneaking up.
Sure enough, the Jingzhou army came to attack that night, but the island had already been prepared, and the two ports were heavily guarded, and the arrows fired in unison to repel the enemy ships.
Early the next morning, the waves on Dongting Lake were rolling, and thousands of sails were racing, and the Jingzhou army once again dispatched warships to attack Mochiyue Mountain.
Zhou Xiong sneered when he heard the report: "The dog officers and soldiers will only sneak attack, and they couldn't use their plans last night, and they came to send troops today, just to annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”
At the sound of an order, the fleet of the thief army also set out in a mighty manner, and both armies wanted to decide the victory or defeat, each with its own elite, and the thousand sails in front of Mochizuki Island were bulging, and the drums shook the sky.
This time, Zhou Xiong's elite was exhausted, and all eight Lingjiao ships were dispatched, divided into four teams, surrounded by large and small ships, even if the Jingzhou Army had Gan Ning, what if he could block the eight Lingjiao ships alone?
Zhou Xiong stood on the Lingjiao boat in the center, raised his knife and looked into the distance, only staring at the enemy general who stepped on the side of the boat with one leg on the ship, the two pheasant feathers fluttered in the wind, and the big red robe was raised high, and the momentum was unruly.
Seeing Gan Ning's dazzling outfits and brilliance under the scorching sun, Zhou Xiong sneered: "Cut, what are you a water thief?" ”
"Second Leader, look!" At this moment, the soldiers next to him pointed to the fleet of officers and soldiers, and saw a row of small boats in front of them, all of which were made of bamboo.
Zhou Xiong laughed and said: "Although they can follow our example to make bamboo canopies, it's a pity that they can't build a spirit boat, everything is in vain." ”
"Yes, our Spirit Jiao Boat and Ghost Shark Team, the officers and soldiers are helpless at all."
Seeing that the Jingzhou Navy and the boats began to lose, Zhou Xiong ordered: "The fifth and ninth are outflanked from both wings, and the sixth follows me to attack the middle, and all the Lingjiao ships are dispatched together to directly enter the navy." I want Liu Qi to know what despair is! ”
With Zhou Xiong's order, there was a team of two Lingjiao boats on the left and right to lead the team to outflank the past, and the four Lingjiao boats of the Chinese army rushed straight to the officers and soldiers' ships.
Knock Knock Knock –
The drums on Dongting Lake were loud, and the water wheel of the Lingjiao boat was slowly turning, and the water splashed up, and the water wheel was turning faster and faster.
A large splash of water splashed at the bow and tail of the big ship, like a dragon going out to sea, breaking through the water and rushing straight forward.
The Jingzhou army also sent a fleet divided into four teams, with the ship in front and the small boat behind, and the officers and soldiers were hidden in the cabins with bamboo chips, just waiting for the ships to crash into the Lingjiao boat, and the officers and soldiers boarded the ship to fight.
The stern is narrow and flexible, and there are four or five zhang away from the Lingjiao ship, and suddenly all the rudder turned, divided into left and right, like two dragons out of the water, dare not confront the big ship head-on, turn the bow and go back.
The thieves on the Lingjiao ship immediately began to release arrows, and the arrows rained down on the ship, and the officers and soldiers hid in the cabin, and the arrows shot on the bamboo pieces, and there was a raindrop-like sound, but there were no casualties.
At this time, the spirit boat was already like flying, the bottom of the ship was close to the water, the wheels were spinning like the wind, like a deep-sea beast, roaring and rampage forward, and only those chaotic boats were left in front of them.
"Rush over and smash them!" Zhou Xiong shouted loudly at the bow of the boat.
Although the officers and soldiers were powerful, they did not dare to hit the Lingjiao boat, which exposed the boat coming from behind, and it was really an egg hitting a stone.
But when they saw that the boats did not turn around, but turned into sterns, and rowed away quickly in the way they came, the soldiers saw that the situation was urgent, and threw all the supplies on board.
The Spirit Boat was getting closer and closer to them, as if a big fish was swallowing the fish.
Seeing that they were about to catch up with those small boats, the thieves gritted their teeth, expecting a ferocious collision that would smash those small boats to pieces, not to mention the scene of more hatred.
At this moment, the speed of the spirit ship suddenly decreased, and there was a creaking sound in the cabin, and the hull of the ship shook with a muffled bang.
I saw that the wheel of water was turning slower and slower, and at last it all stopped, and the speed of the big ship was sharply reduced, and the waves were shocking.
The huge hull shook violently, and it spun several times in the water, and many of the thieves were caught off guard, and all of them were shaken to the bottom of the ship, and the cabin was full of screams.
There were two Lingjiao boats that were turning and outflanking, their speed suddenly stopped, they turned half a circle in the middle of the lake, and they capsized on the water, slowly silent, screaming in panic, and climbed to the bow of the boat for help.
Zhou Xiong didn't have time to react and was almost thrown into the water, but fortunately he grabbed the side of the boat in time, threw it out and hung on the boat, and his own soldiers hurriedly rescued him.
"This ...... What's going on? Zhou Xiong was shocked, and turned his head to see that there were six of the eight spirit Jiao ships left, all of which stopped and spun in place.
